4850@750Mhz vs 4870

[Miwo]

Sorry, this is pretty much a fresh Vista64 install and i dont have any games installed yet. Just vantage for now

Here is Vantage High again @ 925/1000MHz

Techreport for comparison:


48% Core increase(925MHz) over Stock = 5141 GPU Vantage High (33%)
20% Core increase(750MHz) over Stock = 4485 GPU Vantage High (16.4%)
Default 625 / 1000 = 3851 GPU Vantage High (Baseline Techreport's Results, sorry didn't test stock )

Definitely see some diminishing returns here!!!. Will have to do vmem mod tomorrow and play around with the DDR3. My card is definitely dying for some bandwidth.

Temps are 48C under 1.55v using Accelero S1 + 120mm Delta TriBlade + 70mm YS Tech. Coolaboratory Liquid Pro. I think Power Circuitry is holding me back or something. ATITool artifact tester fails with 1 pixel incorrect (I can't see any yellow flakes), Vantage passes fine, and my temperatures are fine. 4870 does have an extra 6pin connector as well as beefier vregs. Still, all in all very fun card to play with for under $200. I'll probably see if I can run this around 1.45-1.5v @ 900MHz for 24/7 usage
